Research Regarding Blood Glucose Dynamic in Horses Used at Complete Trial Competition

The choice for this paper was determine by the necessity to identify some practical and objective ways to evaluate the energetic and effort capacity at sport horses, which serve to measure the period and intensity of training and to appreciate the effects of training over the level of physic preparation.Biologic material used for researches was represented by 15 sport horses from Dinamo Club-Bucharest, animals which come from the effective of Jegălia and Cislău studs.The method used for researches consists in transformation of glucose, under glucozo-oxidases action in gluconic acid and oxygenate water.The blood glucose value, at horses used in complete trial competition, oscillated depending on trial’ type and increased obviously after effort. The differences between the glucose values before and after effort were very significant for steeple chase and jumping trials and insignificant for cross country.
